Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, says there is a plot to remove the Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara.

This is even as he condemned in the strongest terms the recent ruling by a Federal High Court seizing the monthly allocations accruing to Rivers State.

Frank who made these disclosures in a statement in Abuja, described the court decision as one of the scripts written to either force Fubara to join the APC or be removed from office.

“This is why the President has remained mute despite the gross violation of the Constitution by the courts and police in Rivers state all this while.

“Already all security agencies and federal government institutions are against Fubara because they have been directed to ensure that Fubara succumbs to the President wishes or be removed.”

He however warned the President to steer clear off Rivers State as any attempt to touch the funds legally accruing to the state or to force Fubara out of office would be resisted by the people of the State and the entire Niger Delta region.

“There will definitely be consequences for any illegal action aimed at destabilising Rivers State or intimidating, persecuting and removing Fubara from office. Rivers’ people and the Niger Delta will resist it to the extent that the entire country will feel the impact as the President will not be able to quell the unimaginable uprising that will result from the action,” he said.

He urged Fubara to remain steadfast in standing for the people and defending the sovereignty of Rivers state saying the people are solidly behind him.

“A stitch in time saves nine. Let the international community step in now before the crisis boils over. The IOCs definitely need peace to carry out their operations in the region,” he said.
